MicroDVD subtitles are now recognized as an unsupported file format. The "--default-duration" option and mmg's "FPS" field can handle values like "25p" or "50i".

Several bugs reading Matroska/WebM files with elements with an unknown size have been fixed. mkvextract cannot extract FLAC into OggFLAC files anymore, only into raw FLAC files. mmg shows the estimated remaining time during muxing.
